Drop in solar panel energy production

Do you have a lot of shading or dirt covering the panels? That may be causing mismatch, bringing down your energy production, especially if you don’t have microinverters.

Oh, that’s a lot. Easy solution: Clean off the solar panels with water. A simple spray of water from a garden hose will do.
